Breed-specific, or a dog person in general
Breed designs are the stronger gift when you know the breed, because the recognition is instant and it says somebody paid attention. The shop prints most popular breeds by name, and each phrase shelf carries a breed list rather than one design.
If you do not know the breed, or the person has a mixed breed, a general dog design lands better than a guess. A wrong breed is a small insult; a generic dog is a safe compliment.
The phrase matters more than the drawing
Dog shirts split into two kinds: a picture of the breed, and a line of text with the breed dropped into it. The text ones are the ones people actually wear, because the joke is on the wearer rather than the dog.
For a dog dad, the dad-slogan shelves are the obvious match. For a dog mum, the same jokes run under that label. Both are printed in the same sizes and fabrics.
Getting the size right when it is a gift
One unisex cut, S to 5XL, measured flat. Ask, or check a shirt they already wear: chest measurement is the only number that matters, and the size guide separates the chest it is cut to fit from the garment measured flat.
If you genuinely cannot find out, buy the size you would buy them in a normal t-shirt. The cut runs true, and a slightly large tee is wearable where a tight one is not.
Ordering in time
Every design is printed when it is ordered. Production takes one to two working days, then transit: UK standard five to twelve working days, express three to seven, international three to twenty-one.
For Christmas Day, order by Thursday 3 December. Free UK tracked delivery applies over GBP 40, which is usually two shirts.
Questions
- My breed is not listed. What are my options?
- The phrase shelves carry breed lists and add new breeds regularly, so check there first. If it is still missing, a general dog design is the safer gift than a near-miss breed.
- Is the design printed or embroidered?
- Printed. Designs are printed onto soft cotton t-shirts, in sizes S to 5XL, on black or navy. Nothing is embroidered.
- Can I put my own dog's photo on a shirt?
- No. The portrait designs are existing artwork of a breed, not a custom upload, and the shop does not take photo uploads for printing.
- How long does delivery take?
- One to two working days in production, then UK standard five to twelve working days, or express three to seven. Everything is tracked door to door.
